The Prime Directive

[intro] Yeah... through the darkest valleys, man.

See, when you realize that human strength is finite, that's when the infinite steps in.

Through the unmerited grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the chains don't just loosen—they shatter.

Everything is possible when you surrender the driver's seat.

Listen... [verse 1] I was a lost soul navigating through the cold rain

A blind devotion to the motion, self-medicating whole pain

No foundation, just a psychological rotation

Looking at the world's turmoil, drowning in stagnation

I used to say that faith was hard to come by in these dark days

Misguided by the maze, caught up in the worldly ways

But the catalyst was waiting, elevating my perspective

When I allowed the Holy Spirit to become my prime directive

He’s the compass in the chaos when the paradigm shifts

Lifting up my spirit with the paradigm gifts

He pushes me in right directions when I’m prone to wander

Giving me the clarity to sit alone and ponder

See, I was broken in the dirt, a spiritual casualty

Until His mercy intervened and redefined reality

Now I’m anchored in the grace, no longer driftin' in the night

From the shadows of the past into the everlasting light. [hook] He’s the compass when I’m lost, He’s the anchor in the storm

When the world is getting cold, His affection keeps me warm

Yeah, we gotta spread the love, gotta testify the truth

From the elders in the pews to the broken in the youth

He’s the compass when I’m lost, He’s the anchor in the storm

When the world is getting cold, His affection keeps me warm. [ verse2] But look, let’s keep it real, it ain't an easy road to travel on

You gotta put the armor on to face the king of Babylon

We gonna mess up, make mistakes, and stumble through the agony

But recognize the sacrifice that reconciled the tragedy

He gave His one and only Son, the ultimate redemption

To make us worthy once again, erasing the exemption

But don't you sit upon your hands expecting Him to move the mountains

If you ain't willing to go work and drink from living fountains

God ain't gonna do it all, you gotta match the execution

Put the labor in the faith to manifest the resolution

For me, it started on a Sunday, Easter morning, configuration

Walking through the doors of Life Bridge, a holy visitation

Met an enormous loving following, the leaders influenced my life

They pulled me out the strife, cut the malice like a knife

Now I’m building up the kingdom, spreading love across the earth

A testimony of the spirit, testifying second birth. [ outro] Yeah. Life Bridge Church saved my life, man.

But it takes work. Faith without works is dead.

We gotta move our feet while we pray.

Keep God as your compass. Let Him guide your steps.

He redeemed us through His Son. Now go do the work.

God bless you. Amen.
